    Sputtering at 50-60 mph

    It is still at the dealership. Haven't heard anything. Last I heard still waiting on the Toyota field tech to check it out. The dealer did say they drained and replaced the ATF and put a new crush washer on. So the leak should be fixed. On some FB group there are several people saying they have...

    No not really. It is possible. It could have fallen off while he was holding the bolt. He took the bolt out, we stood there and watched the fluid drip out, he put the bolt back in.

    All of the instructions I’ve seen for checking ATF levels say to replace crush washer. Not sure how else fluid would come out of the check.

    Well just had it towed back to the dealer. Leaking ATF from the bolt he removed to check ATF level. Didn’t replace the crush washer. They are going to keep it and try to get the Toyota field rep out there this week. At this point I don’t even want the truck back. I’ve never regretted buying a...

    ATF-good. Technician said my truck drives like s#&t. Not just gear hunting like what most complaints are. He thinks it’s a bad transmission or torque converter. Said Toyota may recommend replacing both. They are contacting the tech engineer from Toyota for next steps. They said more than likely...

    There is a dealer local here that has 3 2023 TRDOR all worth about 25,000 miles on them. Probably all 3 drive like ****. The mechanic (here at my dealer) told me earlier they have had several complaints on this same issue. He said unfortunately they have just had to tell the owners there is no...

    At the dealer now waiting for transmission to cool down to correct temp to check atf level. In the meantime, I test drove one, with the mechanic, and it drove 1000 times better than mine. It has none of the same issues. Hopefully the next post will be “truck is driving amazing now!”

    I have seen people with 2020's and through to 2023's stating they had low atf. The most recent one I have seen was a 2023 and he said once the atf level was fixed it drives perfect now. All I can do is tell the dealer and Toyota what to do because they act as if they have never heard of this...

    I now have heard from a couple others with the same issues and same year Tacoma that had dealership check AT fluid and they were low. The issue went away after fixing. I have an appointment with my stealership this friday (1/26/24) to check AT fluid level per Toyota's recommendation. I will...

    Something has to be wrong with mine then. It is far from running fantastic.

    I have heard great things about OTT tune. I am definitely looking at that as the last resort. Hate to spend $450 to make it run right, but it may be worth it.

    Also interesting you should mention the double cab. Maybe that could be the difference why some do not have this experience.

    I have wanted a Tacoma for many years but just never was the right time. Finally have this one and I am not too sure that I would've bought it at this point if I knew it was gonna drive like this. I like everything else about it, but all of my other Toyotas have driven sooo much better. I am...

    Funny new replies are on here because I was just about to post an update. Toyota has contacted me about the issue and wants me to bring it to the dealer for further inspection. I did just read on another Tacoma Forum (one who's name I should not mention on here:D) a guy said he bought his 2023...
